Dinner was at Kona Cafe ... our favorite meal from last trip! First we stopped here ...
to listen to ...
Very entertaining while we waited. I had a mango marguerita and DS had a no-jito. Didn't even think to take pics of the drinks!
Cost OOP for the two drinks - $14.11
On to dinner - sorry there is glare on these ...
First was the wonderful bread with the macadamia nut butter
For my appetizer ... Kona Salad - Mixed greens, Maytag blue cheese, fresh fruit, red onions, and smoked almonds with a citrus vinaigrette
This was very good but a bit too much dressing for me. And the almonds & blue cheese was on the bottom under the lettuce so somewhat hard to get all on the fork.
DS had ... Sticky Wings - glazed chicken wings with a tangy mustard drizzle and toasted sesame seeds
He loves, loves, LOVES these! #1 reason he wanted to come back to Kona.
For dinner, DS had Teriyaki-style New York Strip - sirloin strip grilled with pineapple teriyaki glaze served with mashed Yukon gold potatoes and stir-fried broccolini. For reasons unknown, this picture deleted from my camera. There was just a blank, dark spot where it had been. He substituted rice for the potatoes and loved every bite!
I had one of my favorite entrees of the trip ... Pomegranate Barbecued Pork Chop served on pan-roasted fingerling potatoes and applewood smoked bacon braised Swiss chard plus DS's broccolini. I absolutely loved this meal.
(Sorry I had cut the pork chop before remembering the take the picture)
For dessert we shared the fondue and DS had a Cappuccino (Sorry it is dark, the one with the flash was even worse). You can see our tip envelope curtesy of the wonderful Disigners on these Boards. As a side note, all of the servers loved them and reacted with excitement except our waitress here. I really don't think she realized that there was money in it and that she thought we were just giving her the note!
This was one of the best meals of our trip. We loved everything.
Total cost again with two iced teas - $82.35
